Hey guys, I've not posted here for a while... Well mainly because my car has been totally obedient. Now the disobedience have started again. Earlier this year, I was forced to change my steering rack after it damaged my pump. It's been leaking for a while. After I changed the steering rack, I had peace of mind for a few months but just 5 days ago, I noticed my pump is making noise so I check the fluid and noticed that it's low. I immediately knew that the steering rack is leaking again! Now I'm about to buy another steering rack and the kazeem I'm managing said I should not use Abro fluid but instead I should use engine oil. According to him, the transmission fluid is responsible for the quick damage of the steering rack! Please gurus, advice me! How true is this statement and if that's true, is it advisable to use engine oil as power steering fluid? I drive a 2006 accord Europe spec.

Kelvin30286063: Honda has a steering fluid for your vehicle, get it. In cases like this, a brand new rack is preferable to used ones. In some cases, a rekit can also be done. You can explore that option. |

diportivo: Wait, na me you won't advice or Kelvin30286063? Cause i just fixed my leaking PS pump this evening and topped it with engine oil. I discovered a very light Engine oil (drum type) from Conoil, thats what I use now. I have no plans to stop using engine oil as PS fluid. |
